this is our team tonight members of the extremist right sector group reportedly joined police in the crackdown on anti-government protesters in ukraine speech to the city of slavyansk three people are said to have been killed there today and in some of the other top stories that help shape the week. rage and road dozens were reportedly injured after a march against austerity turned violent as record unemployment and soaring housing costs push italians to the edge and. picked out what looked like it was a rock but actually was it greenwald a young afghan war casualty gets treatment in america but he's sent back then to the war zone where hundreds of children killed every year we've got her story.

pretty good even if you just joined us it's kevin owen here in moscow tonight at r.t. international the time just past ten pm this is the weekly roundup of the top stories the last seven days but first we're focusing on the big news coming out of ukraine tonight three people have reportedly been killed there today and scores injured as police crackdown on anti-government activists in sloviansk it's in ukraine's east the wave of popular unrest against the coup appointed leadership inc here now that has hit ten cities and these are the pictures he recently received from sloviansk as take a look amid reports that the right sector groups joined the offensive on activists members of this self-defense unit claim that they were attacked by your nazi radicals in this instance extremists opened fire killing one person meantime ukraine's interim president promised a quote large scale anti terror campaign involving the country's military

journalist graham phillips is on the scene is instead. where he says citizens of bracing themselves for more violent labor movement and. these people are a combination of self defense people who have come on ready to defend this territory which is now surrounded the primitive by barricades coming through the day we've also seen hundreds of local people come out to the street to express their support for what's happening here they've been calling for a referendum on the big calling for their voice to be heard in terms of standing up against the kiev government which they declared as unconstitutional as undemocratic now the day began with the storm attempt in this police headquarters complex behind me that was unsuccessful. but this morning i didn't manage to get to work because traffic is paralyzed as the c.d.'s sealed off military helicopters are flying overhead here spreading panic come on the people are some shots early in the morning it sounded like fireworks but no fireworks take place at nine am on the

t.v. they have urged people to stay indoors because the security operation was launched these people have come out and they all the vast majority of them peaceful however this is a strong statement of intent in terms of what they once were saying at the moment behind as nice going is a pervading atmosphere of calm punctuated by sporadic outbursts of fear with ongoing reports swirling that a storm could happen again tonight now of course dimitri our oceans call for effectively a war in this part of the east of ukraine refused to accept the demands of these people here but. i order all the elements of the right sector to start a full mobilization and prepare for decisive actions to defend ukraine i call an all police and security forces to assist the right sector instead of stopping us the atmosphere as i say for the moment is calm but what the night ahead will bring remains to be seen. that's the worry but we're onto it in case you think does

kickoff more just remind you doing tree yarosh is the leader of the tories right sector group which was at the forefront of february's bloody coup in kiev its members are frank about the neo nazi ideology right sector leaders and know from making controversial statements including calls to join forces with chechen terrorists to launch attacks here on russia and also threats to blow up gas pipelines use for transfer to europe and it's threats like these that led people in the first place to take action that's what r.t.d. has been finding out. we're now in solid would cease to be the den that's correctional ministration hand what has become recently the santos and to hear the protests this is where those who did not make a noise the country's new authorities gathered and this is from where they fled the creation of the nets people's independent republic this republic has its own forces aimed at protecting that there must men that we can see here and that they mostly formed from simple volunteers but there are also police and army defectors among

them must. descend model land from the freshest army that's going to kill us this is also what happened in the original capital all of the people say here that thing here the ripper titian of this scenario police say cleared in a very violent way all governmental visiting stake in turn led by similar groups old protesters detaining at least seventy of them i only have a stick to defend myself becoming own with machine guns annoyed yesterday for example was a chilling then this is a very large city known as ukraine industrial capital around one million people live here while the the region is home to the tenth of the country's population and today these building the wrong representatives of almost old major cities and towns all based regions basically mine workers and employees of the region's numerous

factories and enterprises and each region pi's its. floor in base and eleven story building we are for social justice the creation of a republic means drastic changes in the way our territories organized we are forty quality of languages we are against the oppression of the majority by the nationalist minority. sends about four hundred seventy million dollars to kiev and less than one hundred and fifty million returns all the mines and enterprise. and that's our prosperous organizing diminishment in the region strangely doesn't mean that he didn't mention he declared the flutist with national team in ask rain well another development to bring up to speed with in a phone conversation with russia's foreign minister the u.s. secretary of state john kerry is once again blamed moscow for the recent escalation in ukraine the money that russia clear out of the southeast as he puts it foreign minister sergey lavrov responded and said he urges kind of pot to provide proof of

these allegations which he says threaten the upcoming talks on the ukrainian crisis he spoke with an activist who says the claims of a russian hand stirring up trouble here are unfounded and the people of the dawn it's cretin have risen against kiev the protesters are simply locals who are fed up and don't want to live in a country ruled by all of the neo nazis claims that russian agents are storing up on the rest on the ground are absurd we're used to hearing things like that but it's nonsense the only new people with russian passports here are the journalists and just to remind you not a single russian official has come here to speak in front of the crowds. i spoke to modern history expert marco mcdermott early this evening he believes southeast ukraine might already be full of extremists whose help the new government going to need if it wants to maintain control there. the new government in kiev setting up a national guard precisely know to incorporate the paramilitary fighters of the right sector into something that would look more like

a state organization and given the failure of the local police in the south and east of ukraine to. the new regime here they really do need what committed activists the new regime in care has rather short of trained incompetent personnel and the same time it has an incentive to move the radical right wing militias out of care sending them somewhere where if they're successful the new government can claim credit if they get a bloody move from confrontation with people in south east to create. weaken them visa be the other side of the new regime which came to power on the back if you like of the violence in february which is not entirely comfortable with. michael with me earlier on we will keep you updated with the latest developments of course coming out of southeastern ukraine as we get the late to this but i look at where the current tensions in ukraine are you believe gas relations between care of a moscow it's a lot of talk of what about that at the moment after some of this week's statements of ukrainian officials apparently could end up short of some vital gas supplies is

the worry there we'll explore that a bit more after the break. focusing on road another for a few minutes there a peaceful demonstration turned violent in the capital row with the dozens of people reportedly injured in clashes. that's the saying thousands took to the streets of the capital to protest high unemployment housing costs consequences of italy stagnant economy but when the crowd bridged the labor minister in the city center some of those activists then started throwing rocks and bottles and firecrackers at the police who in turn responded with tear gas into english from artie's roughly video agency was at the scene. earlier clashes took place between. two gas was fired by police and then i charged at the protest as. arianna was at the scene arianna can you tell us how it happened and so basically i was standing at

the front in between the police and the protesters and the protesters began throwing things such as fire crackers and. by standard one minute she walked to a sobbing it looks like her arm a severely injured possibly meeting in amputation and shortly after the police threw tear gas and then charge the protesters and everyone fled in various different directions times are tough for a lot of a target right now and for the record number of businesses closed or went bankrupt and it's only in twenty thirty while forty percent youth unemployment setting a record of its own in the country because it. believes the outlook for the eurozone third largest economy isn't great either. what is clear in the country is that people are really upset for the center part to say the least of those who are working or who lost the word to be in the working age they are very upset

sufficiently and is so easy to do that there's reverts by the facts not whether we're told that unemployment levels are very high and. being consumed by fags to. family support. this is a theme. in mounds of or is there are so that families can now spend to support their family members at one point in time this week and people will just be without it fit mojo not ours not perspective of getting a return on benefits this would be very difficult i mean it's very nice to read announcements what people see on their skin difficulties of the security. often travel on the streets literally to a trouble just about averted in the week in greece and here started protests as they were held in check this week by heavy security which was posted have angela merkel's visit to athens to praise the country for keeping in line with financial

measures introduced by brussels. so you see the trade unionists and state sector workers hit hard by the country's economy belt tightening marching through the streets of the greek capital friday seven thousand police officers were deployed to maintain order ongoing public sector cuts in greece will mean there were up to eleven thousand civil servants will be fired by the end of the year it's a grim outlook for them to look forward to that summit twenty eight percent unemployment in the country to tough austerity measures and cuts of also lead to a for the country's g.d.p. if you look at how that fear is down almost a third compared with two thousand and nine bit alarmist but it got us a terrorist believes streak societies ultimately paying a high price for the country going or trying to at least get back into the black. we have been turned into a society with scooter every day life is getting even worse and there's always the

possibility of extra misery at the same time that the greek government is trying to present to present an image today that is it is entering it's getting back into the markets in reality it's the exact opposite the cost greek society has paid and the cost greek society is going to pay for this return to the markets it's huge and this can explain this contrast the government celebrating the return to the markets and at the same time a major strike a general strike and thousands of people in the streets and the reality is the people in the streets and the people in manger the people in despair all over non aspects of bridge society. and more the big headlines of the week but it's still being counted in afghanistan that it's still unclear if the first part of the presidential election will determine a winner or a runoff vote that may have to be held made mounting taliban terror attacks and the withdrawal of those u.s. led forces and with civilian casualties on the rise children also falling victim to the war now next then we got the story of one afghan girl who was lucky enough to

get help from a pro but then she said straight back to the war zone granted she can go to her story. this seven year old afghan girl was brought to the u.s. for medical treatment almost a year after she was injured in a blast at home her village had been a cauldron of violence is the u.s. invasion of afghanistan one morning she went outside to play with her brother the night before there was a violent battle between taliban fighters and u.s. military forces nothing residents there weren't used to she picked up what looked like a was a rock but actually it was a grenade hit it on the floor and it exploded the explosion killed brother it destroyed her right eye and she lost most of her right arm the u.s. nonprofit the children of war foundation brought should be to a hospital in los angeles where she received a prosthetic arm but there are so many children like i said she's a fortunate one who came here there's so many more children that need this kind of

treatment many were victims of roadside bombs or were caught in the crossfire of fun growing insurgent battles u.s. drone strikes are causing an increasing number of civilian casualties charity organizations can hardly keep up with helping those who have suffered from the war the united states should not be in afghanistan nation building or anything else and our track record suggests that we aren't competent to do this and it isn't exactly appreciated by people who see us bombing property destroying lives and then coming in and building a new school should be has enjoyed her time in l.a. she was invited to a gallery in beverly hills to paint with her prosthetic arm she showed quite a bit of talent with colors apparently chubby is that going home to afghanistan where every day millions of parents live in fear that their children might pick up a grenade thinking it's just the rock in washington i'm going to check on our team

. a full stop two young life is noble thousands of young lives have been show. but the fighting in afghanistan to the u.n. report says more than five hundred children killed in the country last year and since the american led invasion war than a decade ago now and estimated twenty seven thousand afghan civilians of all a victim of the war. lords national news and more the big stories of the week here not international with me kevin though in after this very quick break. essentially those major leaps and bounds of the nineteen sixes have been replaced by baby steps i mean something like doing experiments on the facts of gravity on line is sure it's important but it is not as sexy as. the man of walking on the moon that's true so we'll maybe you would like us to have a first walk on the moon again every week which again is impossible you need to

remember be a better student of history by apollo twelve people were bored with the novel walking on the if you have a race the trouble with the race is the soon as you cross the finish line the race is over. obama wants to appear like he's taking a strong stand here but the more he resorts to these token sanction is the more transparent it is that he really doesn't have a lot of leverage here and he should've known that going in. this is the weekly with the kevin zero and its run of the big stories the last

seven days and amid the relentless unrest in ukraine there's honestly no sign of economic recovery we've had promises of aid from brussels and washington but the cash is yet to be seen meantime to move putin's question america's commitment to ukraine he said help should extend beyond having a biscuits to people on the streets is a fear of course to win a deputy secular state. under some treats and cookies to people in downtown kiev on the other on the course ukraine's budgets being propped up by billions of dollars worth of russian loans and subsidies moscow. factors given them out for the past couple of years gas discounts energy aid have saved ukraine more than thirty five billion dollars in the last four years alone on top of that as protests paralyzed the capital a man drained state coffers as a result late last year moscow agreed to lend fifteen billion dollars it's received three billion so far no small sum some of that up money was supposed to cover a gas debt which remains outstanding and now amounts to over two billion dollars

but the prognosis for russia doesn't look particularly good it now seems very unclear if his debt will be cleared at all as this weekend officially declared it will no longer pay for any russian gas a major concern now than it is that ukraine might start siphoning gas from the pipes that run to the e.u. it's happened before which gets half of its russia imported gas via those same ukrainian transit routes you know should chief of business new europe believes kiev is to blame for another energy war in eastern europe. has been sending gas to europe for for decades i mean even in the cold war when we really were having me russets interview to be a key supplier of energy to europe what's changed is that ukraine is in the way and ukraine is causing all these problems because they're simply not paying their bills and so russia is building alternative pipeline as the north and the other ones coming to the south and we train will eventually be bypassed but the whole political situation surrounding ukraine it's russia's being blamed like starting an

energy where it's actually support market economics and other trying to get this bankrupt of six players on the table so it was just causing all the problems. the russian president sent a letter to european leaders this week calling on them to help address the ukrainian issue before it's too late the letter was criticized by washington which accused of using energy as a political weapon but in a putin later responded to america's allegations. you go to church it's not polite to read other people's les's it wasn't addressed to them but to gas consumers in europe everyone's use to our american friends eavesdropping but peking as well isn't nice it's all it while american officials vocally confess they don't double check the alleged facts they hear from the self-proclaimed government in kiev. so you are relying on the queen government in terms of what is going on oh do you have any independent sources well of course we remain very closely in touch with the ukrainian government and that's who we work closely with enough

course they are on the ground so their information is often very relevant to current market so we need the secretary talked to mr lavrov to tell him one two three four or that it's a lot of off and between say look the situation is more like this this is what we have this is not true these are russians to you jane said it wouldn't say he told them exactly what i what i just conveyed to all of you and you can certainly reach out to the russians for any readout from their aunt margaret. well this comes of course as part of the extremely intense battle of the media for news outlets are pushing this version of events sometimes with little basis in reality can offer explain to a colleague. found some interesting stuff since ukrainian media is just what it with all sorts of controversial reports related to russia and information is often being shared and reported even though some of it is either complete or hoax altogether some of this is fake is an echo instance this picture was published by

several media outlets shows alleged empty shelves in a grocery store in crimea but the price tag is in u.s. dollars in dollars turns out that this picture was taken over in a grocery store but in new york as it was getting rid of expired products now a list picture of a ledge to crimean refugees looks very familiar i mean well this is the do seem like refugees but the same picture was used by another ukrainian media outlet earlier doing a report on syria refugees seven hundred thousand but my personal favorite is this one this is a story about identification alleged the russian spy caught red handed in ukraine and this idea is sort of like the main proof presented by the media it has lots of grammar mistakes it's in russian but the best thing is that here there's occupation and just as they say in russian what as a teacher as it is spy so that's not very discreet and i would have real i have an

idea that's. not a very good if it is pathetic but also i found an interesting video of ukrainian t.v. station preparing to do a live report from an alleged bromide done for a western rally in crimea and here is the reporter and it seems from in their frame there's a lot of people around the journalist but then the camera pans to the right there and you can see there's only like ten fifteen people there but it's a later this is. also is in a vision and he appears to be directing the crowd either to make some noise or to keep quiet so this is again raises questions about how correct this information is so there's tons of it out there but surely facts have to be checked. which of course we do a lot of our website full of stories our t.v. or culver now you might want to check the syrian government and the opposition blame each other for a chlorine attack it's killed two and injured over one hundred you get the latest details about on our website also to him on the very many stories very well the

russian foreign ministry says washington is trying to blame moscow for america's failing to prevent last year's boston marathon bombing by legend that it withheld information about one of the attack in. bahrain hosted the formula one grand prix this week with lavish sponsorship from western companies the event went ahead despite criticism of the nation's human rights record the gulf kingdoms were waging a three year long crackdown against pro-democracy protests last month alone as an example maybe thirteen bahrainis including teenagers were jailed for life after being found guilty of attacking try to kill a policeman another move that was widely considered as overly heavy handed that's the crux of the twenty eight protestors caught sentences of up to ten years behind bars for similar offenses now as part of the clampdown on dissent the country's government reportedly ordered one point six million canisters of gas worth bearing in mind that's a lot of gas for a population of only one point three million people in bahrain former opposition

m.p. side how the omar saeed told us he believes the west is turning a blind eye to what's going on. government tried to cover off the situation in bahrain by bringing formula one every year and saying that nothing is going on here in bahrain everything is normal on the other hand there is a very strong demand by the opposition by the people trying to emphasize on their human rights are talking about our freedom our our political rights we should share in in processing the politic and process and now i can remember little job who spent two years in jail because he's raising his voice supporting the victims of killing off torture or for arbitrary detention and lots of things are in bahrain in the problem not with the money here in bahrain the problem not only living. quality kind of problem and human rights problem.

well let me just remind you of a developing story from eastern ukraine tonight before i leave half an hour again three people have been killed the security forces clamped down on to government protesters in the town large town of slavyansk the neo nazi right sector groups reportedly joined in on the offensive these are the latest pictures we're getting from you know it was self defense unit was reportedly fired at with machine guns radical fighters the test is a direct hit barricades on a bridge to the entrance of slavyansk town of about a hundred thousand people there also reinforcing barricades in the city centers traffic police unarmored vehicles blocked the way into the city but closely following the situation of course here on and online the next live update for me will be in about thirty three minutes time this is out international thanks for being with us just ahead after the break is on a boy who looks at what's hindering mountains bid to reach for the stuff.

the supreme court is getting a rather important and unusual case the hobby lobby corporation which is owned by a more traditionally oriented christian family has a lawsuit challenging the obamacare mandate that employer provided health care plans have to pay for abortions and contraception this is a tough one which is first sound simple wealthy owners of hobby lobby feel that abortion is murder so they should have to pay for freedom of speech right but then couldn't some other companies say medical care is the devil's work prayer is the only thing you need so we're not going to pay a dime if the supreme court supports this and i think a lot of companies will be making moral stance in order to not pay for things but on the other hand why is abortion such a critical part of obamacare in the first place i mean have you ever heard of activists protest against people fixing broken legs curing fungal infections or

doing laser eye surgery you have. unheard of them because these things are totally acceptable to almost everyone in america so paying for them is part of obamacare is the problem it is only a problem taxpayers or hobby lobby has to pay for something that is extremely controversial and considered an act of evil by half the people on the street abortion being legal is one thing but doesn't need to be funded by everyone because so many people are against it but that's just my opinion.

hello welcome to all the party yesterday marked the fifty third anniversary of eureka guardians iconic fly that hurtled man into space but in the half century that followed mankind has a move much beyond earth's orbit what is keeping us back to discuss that i'm now joined by canadian oster and twitter sensation chris have felt commander hadfield thank you very much for being on the show it's a great honor for us thank you except it's a delight to be speaking with you thank you for the invitation now you're certainly a person who is familiar with both the corporation and called the competition sides of the russian western relationship having flown intercept missions against the soviet union but also having worked with the russians here in this country and also on the international space station and looking back at your experience both called peroration and competition aspect of it it would seem that the much greater

technological and scientific advances were made when the two side. were at odds rather than of working together so i wonder if it would be fair to say that it is in the interest of progress to be in a state of conflict to be in a state of competition rather than corporation that's a very long statement with all sorts of content to it let me address it for you. what we have orbiting the world right now is the first great human outpost of space where we left earth thirteen years ago not just as one country but as a species fifty leading nations of the world have built the international space station it is an incredible human achievement and we have safely managed to operate the space station despite the continuous competition of accidents of budgets of the reality of life and yet there are six people living up there representatives of our whole planet it's an incredible achievement and it stands very much on the fifty

years of work that led up to it the space station is the pinnacle of all that and it's the result of both the competition and the cooperation that has led up to it over the last fifty years but commander have felt isn't that also true that the international space station is still very much operating on some of the designs that. develop back in the nine hundred seventy s. and it's true that some countries like canada for example has contributed that most advanced technology to the project but they also remain this very protective very guarding of those of those technologies so it seems that you know that's a spectacular synergy effect that everybody was hoping for hasn't quite taken place i think you're confusing space entertainment with space exploration the initial things that you do in space the initial things you do anywhere of course are entertaining and they have to be brand new because they're the first time you've

done them but after that comes the. gradual incremental movement into a new place and we are not going to space for the first time you can only do that once what yuri gagarin did was right on the edge of miraculous it was incredible but you can't fly for the first time and space twice at some point it stops being a brand new exciting and dangerous thing and starts instead to become part of what humanity does and you could say that you and i are talking to each other right now based on technology that came from the sixty's in the seventies and cameras and radios are not much different now than they were thirty years ago that's irrelevant that's how you build capability and technology and the fact that we do this co-operatively in space i helped build the russian space station mir back twenty years ago as well as well as was a fighter pilot in defense of canada they're all connected but at the same time we have a multinational space station up there and to me it is it is

a shining example for everybody in the world of the type of things we can do together when we do things right mr hatfill but to take your our space and to taman point you know there were there were quite a number of milestones major milestones you mentioned one year you got in flight than there was a man walking on the moon also a very important and inspirational project inspirational moment for you personally i know as well as for millions of people around the world i bet at that time thought of that wow if we can do that now imagine what we would be able to do fifty years from now and yet it seems that. you know essentially those major leaps and bounds of the nineteen sixes have been replaced by baby steps i mean something like doing experiments on the facts of gravity on lies sure it's important but it is not as spectacular as the man walking on the moon. that's true so we'll maybe you

would like us to have a first walk on the moon our game every week which again is impossible you need to remember or be a better student of history by apollo twelve people were bored with the the novelty of walking on the moon if you have a race the trouble with the race is as soon as you cross the finish line the race is over i think maybe another way to look at it is a great imagined thing in the late sixty's was the movie that was arthur c. clarke's book two thousand and one a space odyssey the idea that there might be a space station up there that vehicles from different countries would go to where people live up there on a permanent basis and it's our first great outpost as a species that is teaching us how to go further into the universe that was the vision of two thousand and one a space odyssey a movie that i watched as a kid and that vision is a reality that's what the international space station is and you you just can't expect it to always be an explosion of newness all the time at some point it

becomes an extension of what we do and we're learning how to build space ships how to build reliable communication systems how to navigate how do you keep crews healthy we have to invent all that stuff on the space station before we can successfully go further permanently before we could leave earth orbit not just for a couple days but on a permanent expansion of human understanding space stations where all that happens well but the question is what is the bad bass note for that you know progress to take place and if i can take you back to that competition aspect of it. china is one country that was excluded from the international space station project ad the insistence of nasa which started security concerns and. has decided to do it on its own and it is now building its own space station which is expected to become a professional by twenty twenty and for a nation that was only able to stand you know a man into space independently one was

a. i think two thousand and three that's quiet in the kingdom and that achievement arguably is also driven by competition not corp it was very much driven by cooperation china came to the russia in the late eighty's and early ninety's and spent years working with the russian expertise working at the. star city just outside of moscow studying how to crews were trained what the equipment looked like what the so used looked like with the space suits looked like and they worked in extremely close cooperation with the russian space agency in russia itself in order to develop their own program so that they could move so quickly to the point that now they have a space station that of course is very similar to design of the russian part of the international space station and in the late eighty's it was inconceivable that the russian program and the nasa led program of the international space station work together and yet because of cooperation and because of the changes of history and fortunately russia's been a part of the international space station since its beginning it after the columbia

accident we would have been in a terrible situation if we hadn't had cooperation because of the ability of other nations to have a vehicle to resupply take people up to the station so it's a shining example of space station there of cooperation it's much much as the chinese program has been with russia i wonder if this is a shining example could be in danger now because we all know that the relations between russia and the west russia and the united states as well as canada are a bit strained at the moment and you know all those countries the western countries are talking about possibly introducing sanctions against russia and one area where russia could choose to retaliate would be the space program by simply refusing to shuttle west an astronaut's to the international space station do you think it's likely to happen and where do you think it would lead all of us running the planet is a complex activity especially for the larger nations of the world they have a tremendous responsibility to their own citizens and to the rest of the. well i

think at times when there are tensions and there are always tensions you know that don't kid anybody but at a time when there is very public tension like some of the things that have recently happened that's when it's even more important i think to have some good shining examples of cooperation because not everything is sitting in one basket it's a huge multi-faceted problem of how nations cooperate with each other in the organization so they belong to and the intergovernmental agreements that we've all signed up to that have bound us to work and that have created the international space station it creates an environment that that is unprecedented and really stands right now is one of the things we're doing together that is right so i think it's been work and we've been working together since since the early ninety's on the mir program and then on the international space station and i'm really delighted that it stands as such a great example in amongst the day to day trials that go along with normal life

commander hadfield he wrote in your book that getting to know the russian culture has taught you not to rush or push your expectations onto russians why do you thing the west in general fails to reach the same conclusion is there any cultural disconnect preventing russia and the west from understanding each other and thereby constantly driving their relationship into antagonism accent i really think it's your and my job to help solve that problem the reason that you and i are talking today is to try and better help understand other people's cultures cultures are complex and especially when viewed from a foreign culture russian people don't understand. american culture or canadian culture very well and canadians and americans don't understand russian culture very well but it's a thing that can only be improved and when you get an example of like you and i have the opportunity to speak or people maybe have a look at the. lympics or people can look at the international space station and

the fact that it's not just six people in orbit but it's thousands of people on earth that are working together on a daily basis traveling back and forth looking at the technology and by almost osmosis having a chance to understand the purpose of each other's culture better that's the only way to solve that problem and it will always rear its head of various reasons and instances where we're not communicating well but it is through communication and incremental work together that we can make it better and that's what i've been doing for the last twenty one years as an astronaut a part of and i think it had a very strong positive net effect over time now as you know on our three have lots of problems you know one of touch problems is the financial crisis that people are still dealing with and. i wonder what do you say when people are asking you look is short for the most basic things here on earth why to spend it on space what is

your usual answer to that well i would ask how much do the people that are asking that question do they actually know the numbers that they're speaking of are they just talking hypothetically how much money does a nation or an organization spend on research and development and exploration and how much do they spend on the health and welfare of their citizens i am from canada i'll speak on canada's behalf for every thousand dollars that the canadian government spends we spend about two hundred forty dollars out of every thousand on health and welfare of our citizens and we spend about three cents on the astronaut program so three one hundred so one dollar on the astronaut program out of every thousand dollars so where is the right balance and also where is the money spent i think in your phrase you said spending money in space or on space that's not where the money is spent of course the money is spent within the economy. if it's spent

on research and development and pushing back the edges of technology on inventions like the robot arms that canada's built that are now used in arms in hospitals to do brain surgery or if it's spent on medical research equipment like micro flow that is a blood flow machine about the size of a toaster that is now used in businesses around credit across the world then there's a real net positive impact to the health and welfare of the economy of the country so i think you can easily make a throwaway statement about money being spent in space but if you actually look at the amount of money that's spent in proportion and the benefits that come to your own economy in your own organization i think you'll see that the money's pick spread pretty wisely it's just a matter of doing the research and finding out where the actual money goes and what it's used for mr hatfill they have to take a very short break now but when we come back with russia and the west that blogger has once again how much longer will auto space remain free of weapons that's coming up in a few moments here on the wall that part. they

have come here to practice law the center identifies them rectifiers wrongful convictions and other serious miscarriages of justice and to save an innocent man's life these young law students earn vest again in the case. in ten x. minutes thank god it's sort of like a concept. lost and seeking the truth to establish whether the witness had provided false testimony and painted them ok mainly children. will the one who has lost all hope finally gain his freedom. hero's for islam mr marty. zero tolerance is the

idea that for any particular misbehavior of the schools will have no discretion and personally i think it's a foolish idea. has . the prison industry and it's not just the government but we have a company means that. a lot of. kids literally get a ticket for chewing gum in class or for talking too loudly and a penchant to go to court just seems like people who criminalize things and when we have responded. disproportionately to to to things that even should be fought. we can push them out put them in prison they will get out and they wound.

right. first right. and i would think. on army orders. in. the in the. welcome back to all the parts of we have discussing space called the ration and militarization of space with astronaut chris hadfield commander hadfield ever since the first satellite was launched by the soviets in one hundred fifty seven we've been thinking about how to regulate the use of space and it seems that there one

thing we could agree on is its peaceful use by all of mankind and you have while international treaties ban the deployment of the bands of muslim struction in space they fall short of a total ban on the weaponization doesn't this leave the door open for another arms of rays given the strategic importance of space there's nothing sacred or miraculous about space it's just the volume that's around the earth and it goes on forever and one of the reasons that we've had limitations practical limitations on the weaponization of space has been largely due to the extreme complexity of getting to space the complex access. and that helps to limit it only a few countries of the world are in a position to decide what gets launched into space and therefore it becomes easier to limit but as our technology improves as access to space becomes cheaper and

cheaper one of the effects of that is going to be that a lot more nations and a lot. more organizations will have access to space and that's when we'll realize that there's nothing sacred about it or miraculous even though that's how it first looked it's just an extension of humanity and people will have the same temptations and the same behaviors as we've always had in two dimensions once we get three access to three dimensions that's why it's even more important especially for the leading nations of the world to try and set the standards to try and set up the framework so that as the access to space becomes easier that there are already treaties and organizations and standards and expectations so that it doesn't become a free for all or a wildness that it might otherwise and we're on that path and there are lots of great examples of that including what we've done on the space station for the last twenty years but mr hatfield isn't it also the case that those leading nations that

you just mentioned to have rather tenuous relationship and they have this temptation. within themselves for example if you take the use of satellite technology it's very instrumental for military purposes it could be used for all sorts of things from navigation to reconnaissance what have you and that makes those satellites a very valuable target and in case of an olive break of violence or or conflict really so aren't they simply too valuable to be left undefended or for that matter on target well everything you just said applies to lots of technology that exists on the ground also. just because it's four hundred kilometers up or twenty two thousand kilometers up doesn't suddenly make it an entirely different set of rules or a different set of desires or or or agreements yeah of course you do you need to

look at the the cost and the expense and the usefulness and the vulnerability. he of all of the sets than any nation puts together and figure out how to defend them but but if you're blending several ideas if you have a reconnaissance satellite if you have a reconnaissance drone if you have a g.p.s. satellite all of those things can be used for peaceful purposes like when we're looking for a missing airliner down in the southern indian ocean or for navigation of cars on the road but all of those things have other applications as well as including military applications it's just technology and it's up to each nation of course to if they've put a lot of money into developing and building something to be able to protect it both in orbit and on earth there's there's not some magical difference between the two and it's going to require careful methodical development of the same sort of rules that we've set up for limiting things getting out of hand on the surface of the earth in the third dimension as we get further and further and easier access to

space over time well that actually leads us perfectly it's you know one of the questions that was sent to you by our viewers his name is ross alvero am here raised a very interesting issue of how the altitude of countries airspace is still on regulated by various treaties essentially his point is that any country at this point of time with at least contemplate shooting down a foreign army reconnaissance aircraft in its guys but nobody as a fair this shooting down military satellites and our viewer is asking rather you believe there is a need for an international treaty that would essentially attempt to define borders not only horizontally but also vertical i don't think it's any different than an extension of what we do on earth there are airliners from most of the leading nations of the world constantly flying all around the world right now and they

aren't armed and they aren't protected and escorted by fighter aircraft. they are of course vulnerable if someone wants to do something terrible or something in a terrorist way to those airliners are representatives of foreign nations that that are vulnerable to terrorist attack and the only way that you can control it of course is through is through the rules that we've established in two dimensions where the majority of the people live that are causing the threat just the fact that a satellite is at a higher altitude higher than whatever ten kilometers up but up more kilometers than that i think you end up with the same extension of the same sets of laws there is a vulnerability but the people who take action in a negative way for the rest of us have to be accountable to them both militarily and through all of the international laws of this that exist i don't think you need to impose an entirely new structure of law to deal with it just because of the height of the vehicle but mr hatfill the eight if for example canada was to stand

recognizance plane over the russian airspace russians would be within their rights you bring that aircraft down but if canada or the united states for that matter decides to sound a satellite you know it sort of fly above russia and essential to do the same kind of reconnaissance job which is you know it's a it's a military job at the at this point of time there's a bit of ambiguity internationally to get about what to do with that there is international ambiguity but also the the ability to do anything about it is very low so it's one of the things as we develop more simple access to space and space access becomes available to beyond just the regular superpowers of the world or the leading nations of the world it's going to be have to become more clearly regulated i think but but i think we can take the extension of the laws that exist on earth right now and find applications for them once you get above the atmosphere i don't

think it's it's nearly revelation error. as it is evolutionary. i wonder if i can shift gears a little bit and ask something more lighthearted i'm sure you watch this recent poll of what movie a gravity have you i think i was the first astronaut to see it i was at the north american premier at the toronto international film festival while the you are the best person to ask one of the most poignant moments for me in that movie was they say overwhelming feeling of being left one on one of its base and i wonder if you could relate that to your own experience of you know becoming or going temporarily blind while on your first spacewalk well i mean. the movie gravity is just entertainment i mean sandra bullock herself the lead actress and it described it as a an amusement park ride and that's what it is you know it's just an amusement park ride it's not supposed to be realistic it's not supposed to be a documentary or

a training movie or something it's just like like spiderman or or a horror movie or something it's entertaining you're supposed to go and watch it and laugh and cry not not to be educated and it's in the it's maybe sort of realistic in the visuals they did a very compelling job with the three dimensionality of the visuals and they won lots of academy awards for the visuals but the storyline itself is you know improbable of the characters aren't realistic and the things that happen defy the laws of physics but that that's exactly the same as man so i don't get too frustrated when i watch a superman movie because it's it's not factual you know it's supposed to be an entertaining movie and i thought it was kind of fun and entertaining so long as you don't try to take it too seriously well maybe russians were taking it too seriously because i agree it's an entertaining and emotionally powerful movie but i thought also thought that it was very typical in a way to portrayed russians because you know the whole movie is centered on

a plot of russians blowing up their military satellite which created this cloud of debris reach. by extension essentially destroyed the entire manned space program and you know i wonder why our there is negative stereotypes about russians are so persistent because it seems that every second american movie has a drunken cosman out and why do you thing russians are always portrayed as a responsible in those space movies i think they're characterizations of the movie we're every single character in space was amazingly irresponsible if you look at the character portrayed by george clooney he acted like he was some sort of free form cowboy up there and the character portrayed by sandra bullock she was she was so fundamentally flawed and under-trained and and hyper reactive to things i think all of that of course if you try and treat a movie as some sort of realism of course it's going to be offensive you know that they didn't try and accurately portray anything and so they just went with typical

stereotypes that they know will help sell movies to the standard movie going public and you know if you're going to be offended by that then they you know that all popular cartoon media is going to end up being being offensive i think what's really matters is what's actually happening in space and i flew in space on the soyuz i have enormous respect for the russian space program i lived on board the international space station i helped build the russian space station mir and i commanded a crew from all around the world of including cosmonauts and incredibly competent capable people and they represent russia for real and they do a wonderful job of representing russia space and that's the reality of it i shouldn't worry too much about the cartoon movies well i missed to have health care for that assessment unfortunately we have to leave it there i appreciate you being on the show as the civil examiner and to our viewers keep the conversation going on on twitter and facebook pages and i hope to see you again same place same time here

on one of the part. these people don't belong to a charity fund social service or anything like this this is just a spontaneous community of people together has no higher. they call themselves people who give a damn we've come here to help our disadvantaged senior citizens don't cry why are you crying they don't know each other but they do share one common goal she cleans my. shoes and gives kyle show gave birth. to coordinate he's

disabled and bedridden and i thought oh my god what can you possibly give me my can do the internet is a. cool sign is together. i do support scottish independence but i actually kosovo i don't support it because i think nato has intervened in cutting into this is the ambitions of various great powers and when the great powers intervene into the process with their own interests it runs the gates and the right to self-determination and i think the people of ukraine will discover this if you start to say that certain people feel threatened and therefore they can take to the streets and start storming government buildings and invite their neighbors in with guns to help them then there is no end to it if you begin to encourage the example of people seceding from the central government that massacre you don't want to encourage them in in ukraine in eastern ukraine you don't have to encourage anyone whatsoever if you have militias moving towards you from kiev you don't need anyone outside to give you an initiative to do

something i mean this is a terrifying situation in ukraine. obama wants to appear like he's taking a strong stand here but the more he resorts to these token sanctions the more transparent it is the. he really doesn't have a lot of leverage here and he should have known that going in. dramas that can't be ignored. to. stories others refused to notice. food since changing the world lights never. on full picture of today's leaves my own two sons from around the globe.

look to. you're watching r.t. tonight members of the extremist right sector group reportedly joined police in the crackdown on anti-government protesters in ukraine's eastern city of slovyansk three people are said to have been killed there today and that is ukraine's interim leadership reportedly plans a major military assault in the southeastern region overnight we're of course keeping a very close watch on developments and if some of the other top stories that help shape the week. really good road dozens were reportedly injured after a march against austerity turned violent as record unemployment and sawing housing costs push italians to the edge and. picked out what looked like it was all wrong but actually it was it greenwald young afghan war

casualty gets treatment in america but is then sent back to the war zone where hundreds of children are killed every year this hour we've got her story to. tell over get even chief just joined us just past eleven pm here in moscow kevin i mean this is r.t. international you're watching the weekly a roundup of the top stories of the last seven days but one that serves remote kicking off tonight to start with three people have reportedly been killed scores injured as police crackdown on anti-government activists in slavyansk it sit in ukraine's east the wave of popular unrest against the coup appointed leadership in kiev has now than hit ten cities and these are the pictures the recently received from surveillance to bring you up to speed amid reports that the right sector group

has joined the offensive on activists literally members of this self-defense unit claim that they were attacked by mira nair. the radicals in this particular instance extremists opened fire killing one person in time ukraine's interim president no promise to extend the military crackdown journal scream for that intervention force where he says citizens of bracing themselves for more violence maybe tonight. these people are a combination of self defense people who have come on ready to defend this territory which is now surrounded the perimeter by barricades however through the day we've also seen hundreds of local people come out to the streets to express their support for what's happening here. they've been calling for referendum and to be calling for their voice to be heard in terms of standing up against the kiev government which they declared as unconstitutional as undemocratic now the day began with the storm attempt in this police headquarters complex behind me that was unsuccessful. this morning i didn't manage to get to work because traffic is

paralyzed as the c.d.'s sealed off military helicopters are flying overhead here spreading panic come on the people are some shots early in the morning it sounded like fireworks but no fireworks take place at nine am on the t.v. they have urged people to stay indoors because the security operation was launched these people have come out and they are the vast majority of them peaceful however this is a strong statement of intent in terms of what they once what we're seeing at the moment behind as nice drawing is a pervading atmosphere of calm punctuated by sporadic outbursts of fear with ongoing reports swirling that a storm could happen again tonight now of course dimitri our office call for effectively a war in this part of the east of ukraine refused to accept the demands of these people here. i order all the elements of the right sector to start a full mobilization and prepare for decisive actions to defend ukraine i call on

all police and security forces to assist the right sector instead of stopping us the atmosphere as i say for the moment is calm but what the night ahead will bring remains to be seen. i'll just remind you dimitrios is the leader of the taurus right sector group which was at the forefront of february's bloody coup in kiev its members a friend their neo nazi ideology right sector leaders are known for making controversial statements including calls to join forces with chechen terrorists and launch attacks here on russia and also threats to blow up gas pipelines used for transit to europe. but it is threats like those that lead people to take action the first place r.t. is rare for nationals being finding out. we're now inside would cease to be the den that's killing gentle ministration hand what has become recent believe me santos and to hear the protests this is where those who did not make a noise the country's new authorities gathered and this is from where they fled the creation of the nets people's independent republic this republic has its own forces

aimed at protecting that they're not men that we can see here and that they mostly formed from simple volunteers but there are also police and army defectors and moan that it must. defend all modern lands from the fascist army that's going to kill us this is also what happened in the original capital of particular the people say here that they fear the reaper to this scenario police there in a very voluntary way all governmental visiting stake and by similar groups hold protesters detaining so at least seventy all of them i only have a stick to defend myself becoming own with machine guns annoying had yesterday for example was a chair like this it is a very large city ukraine industrial council around one million people live here while the the region is home to the tenth of the country's population and today they still think the wrong route cresent it is of almost old major cities and towns

although they stringent basely mine workers and employees of the region's numerous factories and enterprises and each region. who are in base and eleven story building we are for social justice the creation of a republic means drastic changes in the way our territories organized we are forty quality of languages we are against the oppression of the majority by the nationalist minority but stays but not as good as about four hundred seventy million dollars to kiev and less than one hundred fifty million returns all the mines and enterprise. and that's our prosperous organizing diminishment in the region is changing doesn't mean that he's been unleashed to declaim the footage from which he is your international teeth on donetsk ukraine. of course it's not just that these no pictures of him getting into city of hardcore the sort of the obvious even or at least fifty people have been hurt in clashes between pro and

anti-government activists earlier is the largest city of eastern ukraine that saw violent standoff earlier this week you may recall when police clamp down on activists that's the picture there and similar scenes to from the southern city of approach here were a standoff between pro and anti federation activists also ended in a brawl police there reportedly used tear gas to try and separate the rival groups we are keeping a very close eye on this escalating tensions from ukraine tonight we'll bring you the late as of course throughout the evening and as soon as we get it ourselves. well meantime in other developments in a phone conversation with russia's foreign minister the u.s. secretary john kerry is once game play moscow for the recent escalation in ukraine demanding that russia clear out from the southeast foreign minister sergei lavrov whoever heard his counterpart to provide proof of those allegations which he said threaten the upcoming talks on the ukrainian crisis we spoke with an activist who

says that claims of a russian hand stirring up the trouble here are unfounded. the people of the dawn its krege and have risen against the protesters are simply locals who are fed up and you don't want to live in a country ruled by all the carcass and neo nazis claims that russian agents are stirring up on the rest on the ground are absurd we're used to hearing things like that but it's nonsense the only new people with russian passports here are the journalists and just to remind you not a single russian official has come here to speak in front of the crowds. in oxford based the expert in modern history mark oldman spoke to me but he believes southeastern ukraine might already be full of big story misses help the new government will need if it wants to maintain control that. the new government in kiev are setting up a national guard precisely in order to incorporate the paramilitary fighters of the right sector into something that would look more like a state organization and given the failure of the local police in the south and

east of ukraine to. be the new regime here they really do need if you are committed to this the new regime in care is rather short of trained and competent personnel and the same time it has an incentive to move the radical right wing militias out of care sending them somewhere where if they're successful the new government can claim the credit if they get a bloody nose from confrontation with people in southeast recording will in fact we can the movies of the the other side of the new regime which came to power on the back if you like of the violence in february but it's not entirely comfortable with . marco werman speaks with a bit earlier and also while we've been on air we're now hearing that moscow's demanded that kiev stops waging war against its own people as it's been put there an emergency session of the u.n. security council has been cold as well so fast road developments we'll bring you more of course on that throughout the night as i mentioned a little bit earlier so later this hour to a look at where the current tensions in ukraine leave gas relations between kiev

and moscow a hot body contest is subject right now after some of this week's statements to be trade officials your good apparently end up short of some vital gas supplies explain why in just a few minutes i'm trying to get a part of that morphy. folks obviously know for a while where a peaceful demonstration turned violent in the capital rome with dozens of people reportedly injured in clashes. will trouble the streets fifty thousand to the streets to capital of the capital to protest high unemployment and housing costs consequences of italy's stagnant economy but when the crowd reached the labor ministry in the city center some of those activists then started throwing rocks. bottles and fire crackers as well as the police who in turn responded with tear gas andrew english video agency was at the scene as well. earlier clashes took place between police and protesters

to gas was fired by police and then i charged at the protest as. ariana was at the scene ariana can you tell us how it happened and so basically i was standing at the front in between the police and the protesters and the protesters began throwing things such as firecrackers and. by standard one man machine walk to a sobbing it looks like her arm a severely injured possibly meeting an amputation and shortly after the police through gas and in charge the protesters and everyone fled in various different directions times are tough for many italians a record number of businesses and close to going bankrupt in italy in twenty thirteen while forty percent youth unemployment is setting a record of it so that it believes the outlook for the eurozone third largest economy isn't great either. what is clear in in the country is that

people are really upset for the center part of the society so those who are working or who lost the work or the working age they are very upset with this edition and when he says it is in the best reverts by the facts not by the words flow their unemployment levels are very high and are dying being cancer by thanks to. family support. this is a theme in our. amount of reserves that families can now spend to support their family members at one point in time this week and people will just be without it frank mojo not ours not perspective of getting a return on benefits. this will be very difficult i mean it's very nice to read announcements but people see on their skin the figure it is of the city. so to

travel on the streets of rome to travel just about averted in greece and history to protest as there were held in check this last week by heavy security posted out of angela merkel's visit to athens to praise the country for keeping in line with financial measures introduced by brussels. but. the state sector workers hit hard by the country's economic belt tightening march through the streets of the greek capital friday seven thousand police officers were deployed to maintain order but ongoing public sector cuts in greece are going to mean up to eleven thousand civil servants will be fired by the end of the year grim outlook for them that's a mere twenty eight percent unemployment in the country as well tough austerity measures and cuts have also led to a fall in the country's g.d.p. which is down almost a third to comparing where it was back in two thousand and nine say the news will that political analyst want to go to sit terrorist believes greek society of societies ultimately paying a high price for trying to get the country back into the black again we have been turned into

a society with. every day life is getting even worse and there's always the possibility of extra misery at the same time that the greek government is trying to bridge that to present an image today that is it is entering it's getting back into the markets in reality it's the exact opposite the cost rick society has feared and the cost greek society is going to pay for this return to the markets it's huge and this can explain this contrast the government celebrating the return to the markets and at the same time a major strike a general strike and thousands of people in the streets and the reality is the people in the streets and the remainder of the people in despair all over non aspects of bridge society. ballots are still being counted in afghanistan and it's unclear if the first round of the presidential election will determine a winner or a runoff vote may have to be held no amid mounting taliban terror attacks and the withdrawal of u.s. led forces and with civilian casualties on the rise as children that are also

falling victim to the war we got the story next of what afghan girl who was lucky enough to get some help from abroad but then she was sent straight back into the war zone got a teacher cams got a story. this seven year old afghan girl was brought to the u.s. for medical treatment almost a year after she was injured in a blast at home her village had been a cauldron of violence is the u.s. invasion of afghanistan one morning she went outside to play with her brother the night before there was a violent battle between taliban fighters and u.s. military forces nothing residents there weren't used to she picked up what looked like was a rock but actually it was a grenade hit it on the floor and it exploded the explosion killed brother it destroyed her right eye and she lost most of her right arm the u.s. nonprofit the children of war foundation brought should be to a hospital in los angeles where she received a prosthetic arm. so many children like i said she's

a fortunate one who came here there's so many more children that need this kind of treatment many were victims of roadside bombs or were caught in the crossfire if ongoing insurgent battles u.s. drone strikes are causing an increasing number of civilian casualties charity organizations can hardly keep up with helping those who have suffered from the war the united states should not be in afghanistan nation building or anything else and our track record suggests that we aren't competent to do this and it isn't exactly appreciated by people who see us bombing property destroying lives and then coming in and building a new school should be has enjoyed her time in l.a. she was invited to a gallery in beverly hills to paint with her prosthetic arm she showed quite a bit of talent with colors apparently shelby is now going home to afghanistan where every day millions of parents live in fear that their children might pick up

a grenade thinking it's just the rock in washington i'm going to check on our team . on a way to grow out of young lives have been shot through the five thing off. in afghanistan a u.n. report says more than five hundred children were killed in the country last year and since the american led invasion well the decade ago an estimated twenty seven thousand more than twenty seven thousand afghan civilians a fallen victim to the war thanks be with us this is out international it's not commit to eighty minutes past eleven at night more international news more the big stories of the week after a very quick break. they have come here to practice law the center identifies them rectifies wrongful convictions and other serious miscarriages of justice and to save an innocent man's life these young law students are investigating the case. but i think

it's sort of like a constant. law and seeking the truth to establish whether the witness had provided false testimony. will the one who has lost all hope finally gained his freedom. here was first semester. well again amid the relentless unrest in ukraine this upsurge in no sign of

economic recovery with promises of aid from brussels and washington but as yet the cash has been seen meantime bloody putin's questions america's commitment than to ukraine he said help should extend beyond how to go biscuits to people on the streets he was referring you may recall to when a deputy secretary of state treated protesters to cookies in downtown care for a little while back on the other hand though of course ukraine's budgets been propped up by billions of dollars worth of loans of subsidies from moscow over the past few years in fact just as currency energy aid of saved ukraine more than thirty five billion dollars in the last four years alone no small sum on top of that as protests paralyze the capital and drain state coffers late last year moscow agreed to lend fifteen billion dollars so far it's received three billion again no small sum some of that money was supposed to cover a gas debt to which remains outstanding and now amounts to were over two billion dollars of course as far as russia is concerned it's a bit of a bleak outlook it's unclear if that debt will ever be cleared at all as this week

you have officially declared that it will no longer pay for any russian gas that was going to play a major concern no two is that you create might start siphoning gas from the pipes that run to the e.u. something that's allegedly happened before they literally chief of business new europe told this he believes kiev's to blame for another energy war in eastern europe. russia's been sending gas to europe for for decades i mean even in the cold war when we really were enemies russia the continuing to be a key supplier of energy to europe what's changed is that ukraine is in the way and ukraine is causing all these problems because they're simply not paying their bills and so russia is building alternative pipelines to the north and another one is coming to the south and we train will eventually be bypassed but the whole political situation surrounding ukraine is russia's being blamed like starting an energy war where it's actually simple market economics another try to get this bankrupt country to pay interest on able to which is posing all the problems. the

russian president sent a letter to european leaders this past week calling on them to help address the ukrainian issue before it's too late that letter was criticized in washington which accused moscow of using energy as a political weapon but in a putin need to responded to america's allegations. you know it's not polite to read other people's letters it wasn't addressed to them but to gas consumers in europe everyone's used to our american friends eavesdropping but peking as well isn't nice it's all the while american officials have openly confessed they don't double check the alleged facts they hear from the self-proclaimed government in kiev. so you are relying on the government in terms of what is point zero do you have any independent sources well of course we remain very closely in touch with the ukrainian government and that's who we work closely with enough course they are on the ground so their information is are often very relevant to

current look at so we need the secretary talked to mr lavrov the one two three four or the lives in between say look the situation is more like this this is what we have this is not true these are russian jane said it wouldn't say he told them exactly what i what i just conveyed to all of you and you can certainly reach out to the russians for any readout from their aunt margaret. so particles of extremely intense battle the media from news outlets are pushing their version of events sometimes a little basis in reality as i can off explain to my colleague henri sushi. both found some interesting stuff since ukrainian media is just what it with all sorts of controversial reports related to russia and information is often being shared and reported even though some of it is either complete or hoax altogether some of this is fake is an echo instance this picture was published by several media outlets shows alleged empty shelves in a grocery store in crimea but the price tag is in u.s.

dollars as in dollars turns out that this picture was taken over in a grocery store but in new york as it was getting rid of expired products now a list picture of a ledge to crimean refugees looks very familiar i mean well this is the do seem like refugees but the same picture was used by another ukrainian media outlet earlier doing a report on syria refugees seven hundred thousand but my personal favorite is this one this is a story about identification alleged russian spy caught red handed in ukraine and this idea is sort of like the main proof presented by the media it has lots of grammar mistakes it's in russian but the best thing is that here there's occupation and just as they say in russian what i'm going to spy so that's not very discreet as i would have real i have an idea that's. not a very good pathetic but also i found an interesting video of ukrainian station

preparing to do a live report from an alleged bromide done for a western rally in crimea and here is the reporter and it seems from in their frame there's a lot of people around the journalist but then the camera pans to the right there and you can see there's only like ten fifteen people there but it's a later this is. also is in a vision and he appears to be directing the crowd either to make some noise or to keep quiet so this again raises questions about how correct this information is so there's tons of it out there but surely facts have to be checked but we check in on our web site. all our stories are t. dot com there now the syrian government and the opposition blame each other for a chlorine attack those killed two people injured over one hundred you got more than seventy story online also to among the many stories going clicked on tonight the russian foreign ministry says that washington is trying to blame moscow now for america's fairly to prevent last year's boston marathon bombing by alleging that it withheld information about one of the attackers if you want to check that out as well it's online from us. bahrain hosted

a full one grand prix this last week with lavish sponsorship from western companies the event went ahead despite low criticism of the nation's human rights record the gulf kingdoms of waging a three year long crackdown against pro-democracy protests last month for instance alone thirteen bahrainis including teenagers were jailed for life after being found guilty of attacking a policeman so a story to another move that was widely considered as being overly heavy handed twenty eight protesters got sentences of up to ten years for similar offenses it's all part of a clampdown on dissent the country's government reportedly ordered one point six million callouses a tear gas is reported in the week but it's worth bearing in mind the population of bahrain to be one point three million you might think it's overkill one of a better word opposition the former opposition m.p. side had the almost sound he believes the west wing a blind eye to what's going on here. government tried to cover up the situation in bahrain by bringing formula one. year and saying that nothing

is going on here in bahrain everything is an older model on the other hand there is a very strong demand by the opposition by the people trying to emphasize on their human rights are talking about our freedom our our political rights we should share in in processing the political process and now i can remember little eligible who spent two years in jail because he's raising his voice supporting the victims of killing off torture or for arbitrary detention and lots of things here in bahrain in the problem not with the money here in my brain the problem not only living. our politic on a problem and human rights problem. ok but leave you to for about thirty five minutes or so for about the next full news up there before i go the reminder of our developing story from ukraine tonight three people have been killed the security

forces clamp down on anti-government protesters in the city town got about hundred thousand the population of slavyansk in the east the neo nazi right sector groups reportedly joined in on the offensive is the latest pictures we've been getting from the area where a self-defense unit was reportedly fired at with machine guns by the radical fighters protesters of erected barricades on the bridge to the entrance of one of the entrances to the of amsc they're also reinforcing barricades in the city center there's traffic police and armored vehicles part of the way in to. stoke city was close to following the situation there online and on it will bring in more of course as we get it because situation also halting up in a number of other towns and cities in the east as well tonight a very close eye on it tonight filling up next though the law students trying to free an allegedly innocent man he's been in jail for forty six years but after the break.

april stock markets are stomping your asian media for a dime of the journalists politicians and public figures from east and west right you come from treason abuse the quest for compromises and possibility of current world affairs eurasia media for people twenty fourth or twenty stand up. for those who believe in heaven is a place of perfection where all the evils of our world like war famine and racism vanish if there is an afterlife we all hope that in it we will all finally be equals but that is our spirits so they are corpses will still be very much so segregated especially at a new cemetery in germany. you probably think oh some neo nazi group wants to have their own cemetery with those meddling turkish immigrants but no it isn't all

lisbon graveyard according to time magazine yes a four hundred square meter chunk of lutheran burial plots has been set aside for homosexual women by a group of elderly lesbians called the sophia association let's take a big deep breath and think about this why in our modern age do we need to divide corpses by their former sexual preference if a few go for a straight person and a homo sexual person happened on the same day at the same graveyard will the universe explode or something also are groups fighting for acceptance and equality soul why are you advocating post-mortem segregation yet the saffir association i guess has the right to do this but is an idea that is an amazing combination of stupid pointless and if a critical all the same time let's leave dumb segregation for the mortal world please but that's just my opinion. obama wants to appear like he's taking a strong stand here but the more he resorts to these token sanction is the more

transparent it is that he really doesn't have a lot of leverage here and he should've known that going in. marcus williams was falsely arrested by area three chicago policeman who sentenced ahmed to forty six years in prison. this or been locked up for the coldest to. come and tell my mom. told me about her if it.

was. listening to you i'm afraid. i found out the last money into the sun i had a month ok so i was excited and now i was ready for a nice against the sun the most of the students are coming just experienced the so much of a privileged background. when i first walked up to. nevis i was wondering as well i just cannot be can't find the kinds of things that i counted out of the same thing. in the.

morning. my name is jane really and i've not met. you before i mean attorney at the center on wrongful convictions at the center identifies and rectifies wrongful convictions and other serious miscarriages of justice i think that the experiences that you're about to have them open the following weeks may truly be transformative in your lives we have to tie. to represent a man by the name of marcus wiggins and it's my understanding that you are going to be part of this team and you're going to be available to assist us in our investigation and so i'd like to take this time to find out a little bit about you in making her directions you are and christine very nice to meet you. ok ok everybody. this is. ok right now you know i don't press reporting once and then.

there's the road like right now. my name is tom. and then i'm a third year student and they're the last member of. our my dream is to go to harvard. i don't know if i can do that so i don't know if i can be involved and read the horrible things that happen to people and you know. my sanity. i started work working on mark's this case and on september ninth two thousand and nine. was a crime that occurred in one thousand nine hundred ninety marcus was charged and convicted of first degree murder of the man but the whole team.

marcus williams has been through the legal process and so we would say he's it is that in the legal term is procedurally defaulted he really has nowhere to go and the only thing we can do is we can investigate this case and if we think we have weeks we can prove actual innocence then we can file a petition called a petition for post conviction relief based on actual innocence but this is a very very difficult this is very difficult you know we're dealing with again a cold case he's procedurally defaulted and we don't have d.n.a. . oh are hired to play against him and her being his sister actually was they came

into the center and told us a little bit about marcus services personality and this child i thought he was the funniest person you'll ever know he imitated a lot of people from t.v. over him like james brown he used to dance like james brown and we used to crack up laughing and bottom of the legion queue there was ready and he had this low was sparkly ugly boots did he used to wear he was really outgoing he you know had a lot of friends everybody was crazy about him we have a strong relationship it's just can a hard when. you know he's in a place that. there's nothing i can do about it and i don't i cannot distance myself from him some time because. crack. because i don't know how to deal with it but but a most part oh i try to stay in contact because i know that he need us more than anything didn't he ever need us before.

i really got to get a sense it was still a little scary and a little intimidating having that phone ringing for the first time i didn't know if you trust me i'm just i'm just random undergrad. after the close the door and it was just me and marcus distressed really willing to tell me about everything. that's just so nice out i felt a little bit guilty asking him about me. i can assure you that once you visit a client you become clear to me and it really motivates you to do more thoroughly. today is a big day we're going to visit practice for the very first time. we have to drive our cars to this other. guy right now we are.

just going to. expect to be. just to get. us to this. right it was my first time there is a. i want a person. that was about four hours of those that's about the longest time in a prison to.

write a little. bit. my name is. marcus or maybe it is. thomas marcus. and i didn't look at all but also in all that i want to say i want to put that. i got to go. is not a still. exists someone. selling things to people you know that night that the shooting is not just on history. with a different thought and. something as you speak you're. just not any. good. this frustrated man that is most really want. to not be much risk or is not the right man is. because this is crucial it's just

won't it don't make sense. but this. was an you've been all. not just going to tackle some same game tonight and. deal with it and. every day on every day the basics try to. keep my head straight. to stay focused. and not going to. reveal new media come out assistant speak truth about. the region. i feel about this internship. until now everything has been on paper. to galveston ok's and long for convictions in general have a real human face working in a world. we

need. to cheat to. compete that's really the word i should use for the scribe and. certainly defend him as a driver on the dudes you know it seems. to me from behind with lincoln i had to do the rear view. of the witnesses and the different players who profits really threw him into. the midst of his defense the people are. going to stand to testify and i'm just a little admissions that. you need to know.

and after how good how the police investigation was conducted you know his his opinion on what steps should have been steps warrant take and what makes it more or less likely that this crime here happened in the way it said it happened or happened. today is january eighth two thousand. and three days go on january sixth and i want to the whole. truth retired aspiring to. curly's investigation attacks virtue of a lot of the finger shiism shooting. in the spine and grazing in the right front know that there was no evidence in the autopsy. sloth's preliminary reports

it's written by any. ok people. and he made. this is. to be. sure. to build a new. mission to teach me. why you should. only. i do support.

the great powers in the process with the. right to self-determination and i think the people of ukraine will discover this started to say that certain people feel threatened and therefore they can take to the streets. and invite their neighbors. then there is no end to it if you begin to encourage. people. to encourage them in ukraine in eastern ukraine you don't have to encourage anyone whatsoever if you have militias moving towards you you don't need anyone outside to give you an initiative to do something i mean this is a terrifying situation in ukraine. these people don't belong to a charity fund social service or anything like this this is just a spontaneous community of people. they call themselves people who give

a damn. if senior citizens please don't cry why are you crying they don't know each other but they do share one common goal she asks cleans my account she's a good. show gave birth to. their coordinator is disabled and bedridden and i thought oh my god what can you possibly give me in my condition the internet is there. they're cool sign is together. there's a million leave us so we need the media. doesn't bush and soon to a. party there's a full. bush is that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from it's all on politics only on our t.v. . could the kind of really happen in the way it was described in the case reports. he was murdered between nine and ten

in the morning and marcus was arrested for the crime early in the afternoon just a few hours later. it's very fast and we're wondering how the police could be so sure that marcus was the murderer. and why the big impression you get is that a lot of the details just don't make sense. and we feel like we have to find a different way to understand the case better. than the first things i do is i read every report and then the next thing i do say there are a crime scene because they can be credible questions of people i don't understand one quarter of all. the out. there was an amazing magazine not government or were not. born it was really

kind of crazy experiences for a very good lightning experience. to just say the neighborhood are again where a lot of this term claims relying on what the police reports whom i should say some of their own conflict this was the period here and most fields of deception. where . marcus is alleged to have gotten out of the car here's the neighborhood. he started to run for lee tyler and team but they ran through the empty lot. so he was shot in the alley up here he was lying to me to. try to. hide it becomes a lot more realistic that you're actually standing on the point. where it occurred and i'll. he waited for a catalyst to push on and make sure the sun turned around the screen.

supposedly about thirteen shots were fired when the atlas team died. how could no bullets be found and thus abandoned not. cool. to the police come to the scene going to coyotes and. so really i just never happened to read that you're not the first person who is because yesterday i spent a lot of people looked at this record and said maybe it just didn't happen all at get to the contents of what is happening is that it doesn't really have. a common

prosecutor said it was or what if you are conducive to a body being dumped out of the back of the car going to a llama decided to drive back out to see bill so i should ask him a few months rushed. into good evidence that was collected the evidence that wasn't collected and asked him what he saw about everything and he was able to confirm some of our suspicions . and so it is appears to be a number until you are it is going to underscore interesting that in the other communities. where there's a problem there because it doesn't show your depletion of it does seem to really want to board evidence you really don't have the ballistics evidence because there's no shell casings found which you have only is testimony from. people say i heard so many shots read the texas got the call to go to the hospital. the

hospital they had to victims to seize. they probably have the with this is there they acquired the name and they pursued the offender in a trench scene was wrapped up in deathly no canvas stuff just devastated and that's typically done on the canvas it should be done but it's. definitely it's not done because there should be a report that says oh i want to twenty eight forty two three flat apartment i rang each and every bell and i talked to people in the first floor second floor wasn't home and i talked to people on the star for well that means you got to go because nobody was home so we've got to go back again you got to you have to make sure this is essential that it be done the overseeing they didn't end up in evidence where the clothing that scalpel is steve was wearing the coroner and his autopsy report said that the body was received with a red t. shirt and some boxer shorts but this was february in chicago and certainly

could have been wearing more clothing and not when he was murdered where those clothing are we don't know no bullet no clothes i mean he should have been called to the hospital to recover it and also they should have been sent to the crime scene you know salutes it doesn't fit me it doesn't fit mr george was able to confirm that something went wrong with the police work and that there were a lot of flaws. and that's it. ah. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. ha ha. the case seems to sting like there's a lot that seems off about it i didn't think it would be. so obvious that there were in errors made missing information and evidence and we were presented with it

when i saw it i was just like well it's obvious he isn't guilty. you know we have to sort of decide where our investigation is going to take us and the way i see it he was convicted based on the testimony of an r.l. mahen he was convicted based on the testimony of the cedric farley and he was convicted based on the testimony of the kelly stocks. building and. we need to hear from a witness who actually testified at trial that you know i lied i testified falsely you know for this reason we need to hear that you need to have a witness on feel comfortable putting it on paper because. what we do know though is that r.l. may have did tell people that he lied in the trial against marcus wiggins and that

marcus wiggins was not there that day to hear can it hit told marcus ex-girlfriend that he lied and he had told an attorney that he lied. one day i was i think i was going to storm or. come from a store or something like that and he walked up to me he said. hey i'm looking to you why. you want to come there was you took me in he said on the east talks on works is one so i called on a phone and that's all i see i write my hey you want to talk to she i know we will talk to you fast and i was just going to talk to you and let you know see what you can do to help marcus this case because he know that he didn't do it so it's don't fall out on the day that he was going to go so high in a paper saying that he he testified falsely at marcus's trial he was shot in the mouth and count.

perhaps the most damaging test. the money at trial came from this man by the name of cedric farley and i think he's key to the case he's such under farley is the one who viewed a lineup and identified marcus wiggins as the shooter and we have not been able to locate him now as of this date and so we are going to need the assistance of a private investigator. my name is cynthia as. i grew up on the southside of chicago. and i was thinking to go to the fairfield address.

characters jimmy we just talked to jerry and he is the nephew of cedric so this is the bounce lead we've had on cedric and it was actually very nice i did a lot of actually with cynthia. tucker and. i talked to try to really i tell him he was good looking about twenty five times the food but that didn't do it he he doesn't know who the teams on and he doesn't know who our client is. subject is coming back as if there is a afternoon that he never. said so i'll be walking. home. around all the facts and he'd. come for me. to the truth. into closed.

doors. where are we on trying to locate cedric farley we spoke to a yeah. young man i would say sixteen seventeen years old maybe his name and maurice and he said cedric farley is because uncle and that he does not live at that home he does not know where cedric farley lives so that's the last thing on running. to these trolls who owns a dump who all testified against a move those whom. he said they did on the

homes attitude. force and so decided when i told him kelly on the phone kelly say a mark is the same walk as me and i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i had to do it he said but the. detectives made me do it in next court date is on the fourteenth was that who. sits in jail he's not he's not i think he's out the other way we could catch him at the courthouse right right out of court on the floor to. floor and so that's the number we call. it was just yeah yeah a boss who wanted to that yes we can find out. if he is there.

a murderer or syriac joining. us now is. arts. her. woman on. her own home. her. home. her. purse her. body her.

zero tolerance is the idea of that for any particular misbehavior the schools will have no discretion and personally i think it's a foolish idea. has . the prison industry and not just the government but we should our eva companies that are her blocks. kids literally get a ticket for chewing gum in class or for talking too loudly and gave him up to go to court just seems like a look from allies in that we've only responded. disproportionately to things that even should because. we can push them out put them in prison they will get out and

they will have learned nothing. obama was still tear like he's taking a strong stand here but the more he resorts to these token sanction is the more transparent it is that he really doesn't have a lot of leverage here and he should have known that going in. your friend posts a photo from a vacation you can't afford. a different. the boss repeats the same old joke of course you like. your ex-girlfriend still tends to rejection poetry keep. nora's.

post only what really matters. to your facebook news feed. you're watching r t international the smalling members of the extremist right sector group reportedly joined police in the crackdown on anti-government protesters in ukraine's eastern city of slovyansk three people are said to have been killed that says ukraine's interim leadership reportedly plans a major military assault in the southeastern region maybe overnight we keep in a very close watch on developments and in some of the other top stories that help shape this past week. i. rode dozens were reportedly injured when a march against austerity turned violent as record unemployment and soaring housing costs push italians to the edge and. picked up what looked like it was a rock but actually it was it. a young afghan war council to get treatment in

america but then is sent back to the war zone where hundreds of children are killed every year this hour you've got her story. hello very good morning she just joyous is kevin owen here at r.t. h.q. in moscow this morning just after midnight now this is the weekly run over the top stories the last seven days but a story very much kicking off tonight to start three people have reportedly been killed scores injured as police crackdown on anti-government activists in sloviansk in ukraine's east the wave of popular unrest against the coup appointed leadership in kiev now that has hit ten cities these are the pictures received little earlier on from the restive city of slovyansk let's take a look at them and made reports that the right sector group joined the offensive one activist members of this self defense you take a look they were attacked by extreme right wing radicals it's reported in this

instance alone that was in one person was killed. meantime ukraine's interim president has promised to extend the military crackdown jenna's graham phillips is there he says citizens are bracing themselves maybe for more violence now overnight . these people are a combination of self defense people who have come on ready to defend this territory which is now surrounded the perimeter by barricades however through the day we've also seen hundreds of local people come out to the street to express their support for what's happening here. they've been calling for referendum and the big calling for their voice to be heard in terms of standing up against the kiev government which they declared as unconstitutional as undemocratic now the day began with a storm attempt in this police headquarters complex behind me that was unsuccessful . but this morning i didn't manage to get to work because traffic is paralyzed as the cd is sealed off military how the cultures are flying overhead here spreading

panic among the people there are some shots early in the morning it sounded like fireworks but no fireworks take place at nine am on the t.v. they have urged people to stay indoors because the security operation was launched these people have come out and they are the vast majority of them peaceful however this is a strong statement of intent in terms of what they want what we're seeing at the moment behind as noise drawing is a pervading atmosphere of calm punctuated by sporadic outbursts of fear with ongoing reports swirling that a storm could happen again tonight now of course dimitri our oceans call for effectively a war in this part of the east of ukraine refused to accept the demands of these people here but. i order all the elements of the right sector to start a full mobilization and prepare for decisive actions to defend ukraine i call an all police and security forces to assist the right sector instead of stopping us the atmosphere as i say for the moment is calm but what the night ahead will bring

remains to be seen. you know that's the word i would just remind you dmitri is the leader of the notorious right sector group which was at the forefront of february's bloody coup in kiev its members a frank about their fascist ideology leads a no from the controversial statements including calls to join forces with chechen terrorists and launch attacks on russia not only that it's threaten to blow up pipelines used to transfer gas to europe. and it's threats like that that lead people to take action the first places are notion has been finding out. where now inside would cease to be the donetsk original ministration hand which has become recently the e.p. santos and to hear from this is where those who do not recognize the country's new authorities gathered and this is from where they fled the creation of the nets people's independent republic this republic has its own forces and as for tactics that they're not man that we can see here and there they're mostly formed from

simple volunteers but there are also police and army defectors among them must. defend model land from the fascist army that's going to kill us this is after what happened in the original capital all particular people say here that they fear the reaper to the scenario police they're cleared in a very far and away all governmental visiting stake in earlier by similar groups of protesters detaining six least seventy all of them i only have a stick to defend myself becoming own with machine guns annoying had yesterday for example was a chair like this it is a very large city known as ukraine industrial capital around one million people live here while the the region is home to the tenth part of the country's population and today these building the wrong representatives of almost all major cities and towns all over this region basically mine workers and employees of the

region's numerous. that true is an enterprise and each region occupies its. floor in this eleven story building we are for social justice the creation of a republic means drastic changes in the way or territories organized we are for equality of languages we are against the oppression of the majority by the nationalist minority but that's greediness sounds about four hundred seventy million dollars to kiev and less than one hundred and fifty million returns all the mines and enterprises in the nets are prosperous organizing diminishment in the region is certainty doesn't mean that he didn't wish to claim the footage from wilson's you know if nationality from donetsk ukraine to give you an idea of other places where it's kicking off these are pictures we've got from the city of heart of at least fifty people in clashes between pro and anti-government activists

earlier sunday afternoon how coffee is the largest city of eastern ukraine it's all violent standoff earlier in the week when police clamp down on activists now take a look at similar scenes from the southern city of zapata rajveer were a standoff between pro and anti federation activists also ended in a brawl place there reportedly used tear gas to try and separate the rival groups as the say we're keeping a close eye on the escalating tensions the worry is something may happen overnight will bring the latest of course news team very much on the case over the coming hours. meantime in other developments in a phone conversation with russia's foreign minister secretary of state kerry once again blame moscow for the recent escalation in ukraine demanding that russia clear out of the southeast altogether foreign minister lavrov urged his kind of part to provide proof of his allegations which he says threaten the upcoming talks on the ukrainian price crisis we spoke with an activist who says that claims over russian hands stirring up trouble here unfounded. the people of the dawn its cretin

have risen against the protesters are simply locals who are fed up and don't want to live in a country ruled by the neo nazis claims that russian agents are stirring up on rest on the ground are absurd we're used to hearing things like that but it's nonsense that the only new people with russian passports here are the journalists and just to remind you not a single russian official has come here to speak in front of the crowds. i spoke to mark ullman he's a story in oxford university he believes southeastern ukraine may already be full of extremists and the new government will need their help to maintain control there the new government in kiev announced setting up a national guard precisely in order to incorporate the paramilitary fighters of the right sector into something that would look more like a state organization and given the failure of the local police in the south and east of ukraine to. the new regime in care if they really do need if you are

committed activists the new regime in care has rather short of trained and competent personnel at the same time it has an incentive to move the radical right wing militias out of care sending them somewhere where if they're successful the new government can claim the credit if they get a bloody nose from confrontation with people in southeast recording it will in fact we can the movies of be the other side of the new regime which came to power on the back if you like of the violence in february but is not entirely comfortable with. marco model for its part has demanded that care stops waging war against its own people and an emergency session of the u.n. security council has been called as i said bring you the latest on that throughout the night. later this hour to look at where the current tensions in ukraine lead gas relations between kiev and moscow after some of this week's statements from ukrainian officials you could apparently end up short of some vital gas supplies we picked out apart much more detail in a few minutes. this folks. a peaceful demonstration turned

violent in the capital rome with dozens of people reportedly injured in clashes. just a flavor there of thousands took to the streets of the capital protest employment and housing costs consequences of a fairly stagnant economy but where much crowd reached the labor ministry in the city center some of those activists then started throwing rocks bottles and firecrackers at the police who responded with tear gas and. video agency was at the scene as well. earlier clashes took place between police and protesters two gas was fired by police and then i charged at the protest as. arianna was at the scene ariana can you tell us how it happened. so basically i was standing at the front in between the police and the protesters and the protesters began throwing things such

as firecrackers and. by standard one minute she walked away being it looks like her arm a severely injured possibly meeting an amputation and shortly after the police threw tear gas and. charge the protesters and everyone in the flat in various different directions well it's a tough time for a lot of the tally is these days a record number of businesses have closed to go bankrupt in italy in twenty thirty forty percent youth unemployment setting a record of its own political analyst poll or a phone believes the outlook for the euro zone's third largest economy isn't great either. what is clear in in the country is there people are really upset for the center part of the society so of those who are working or who lost the work or the working age they are very upset with the situation i'm in he says it isn't that there's the reverse by the facts not by the words flowed out of blown and loads of

very high and low down being consumed by shanks to. family support. this is a theme. in mounds of reserves that families can now spend to support their family members at one point in time these people will just be without it frank mojo no house not respecting of getting a return on benefits this will be very difficult i mean it's very nice to read announcements but people see on their skin the figure it is of the security. that simply increased meantime interests are to much as a rep to their despite a ban on public protests that are held in check by every security presence ahead of angle of merkel's visit to athens to praise the country for keeping in line with the financial cuts demanded by brussels. but. introducing state sector workers hit hard by the country's economic belt tightening

taking to the streets the greek capital and friday well over seven thousand police officers were deployed to maintain order by going public sector cuts in greece are going to mean up to eleven thousand civil servants will be fired by the end of the years a grim outlook for there not much to look forward to that's made twenty eight percent unemployment in the country in tough austerity measures and cuts have also led to a fall of the country's g.d.p. it's down almost a third compared to where it was in two thousand and nine as you can see on the news of all their political analysts put together to sit terrorist believes greek society is ultimately paying a price sierra high price for the country trying to get back into the black we have been turned into a society with. every day life is getting even worse and there's always the possibility of extra misery at the same time that the greek government is trying to reduce that to present an image today that is it is entering it's getting back into the markets in reality it's exactly what was it the costs greek society has paid

and the cost greek society is going to pay for this return to the markets and this can explain this contrast the government celebrating the return to the markets and at the same time a major strike a general strike and thousands of people in the streets and the reality is the people in the streets and the people in india the people in disturbed all over or normal aspects of rich society. ballots are still being counted in afghanistan as it remains unclear if the first round of the presidential election will produce a winner that may then have to be a runoff amid mounting taliban terror attacks and the withdrawal of u.s. led forces and with civilian casualties on the rise children are also falling victim to the war we got the story next of one afghan girl who was lucky enough to get help from abroad but then was sent straight back into the war zone got a teacher counts got her story. this seven year old afghan girl was brought to the u.s. for medical treatment almost a year after she was injured in a blast at home her village had been a cauldron of violence is the u.s.

the united states should not be in afghanistan nation building or anything else and our track record suggests that we aren't competent to do this and it isn't exactly appreciated by people who see us bombing property destroying lives and then coming in and building a new school should be has enjoyed her time in l.a. she was invited to a gallery in beverly hills to paint with her prosthetic arm she showed quite a bit of talent with colors apparently chubby is that going home to afghanistan where every day millions of parents live in fear that their children might pick up a grenade thinking it's just the rock in washington i'm going to check on our team . so it starts with life we wish you all but she's been pulling through and she will thousands of young lives have been shattered by the fighting in afghanistan a un report says more than five hundred children were killed in the country last year and since the american led invasion more than

a decade ago if an estimated more than twenty seven thousand afghan civilians are falling victim to the war. it's exactly seventy minutes past midnight here in moscow thanks for being with our two international much more news to cover more of the big stories of the week after this short break. they did indeed reveal economic ups and downs in the find it tolerable month day for the london deal sang i and the rest because i meet a few little babies every week on a leash. choose your language calling for week over the internet they feel some of the.

troops could use the concentric articles. to the opinions that immigrate to. choose to stories get entire life truths be access to often. all over again amid the relentless unrest in ukraine there's absolutely no sign of economic recovery we've heard promises of aid from brussels and from washington but the cash is yet to be seen meantime vladimir putin's questions america's commitment to ukraine he said help should extend beyond having a biscuits to people on the streets you may recall when that happened referring to

when a deputy secretary of state to treated protesters to cookie and cookies in downtown kiev while the other hand of course ukraine's budgets being propped up by billions of dollars worth of subsidies and direct loans from moscow over the past few years gas disco and energy have saved ukraine more than thirty five billion dollars in the last four years alone on top of that as protests paralyze the capital and drained state coffers late last year was go agreed to lend fifteen billion dollars of which three. billion have already been received that's no small sum some of that money was supposed to cover a gas debt which remains outstanding and no amounts to over two billion dollars but it is a good news for russia it now appears unclear if this debt will be cleared at all as this week officially declare that it will no longer pay for russian gas a major concern now then is that ukraine might start siphoning gas from the pipes that run to the e.u. it's something that's allegedly happened before the editor in chief of business new europe believes kiev is to blame for another energy war in eastern europe brewing

now. russia's been sending to europe for for decades i mean even in the cold war when we really were i mean russia which continues to be a key supplier than easy to europe what's changed is that ukraine is in the way and ukraine is causing all these problems because they're simply not paying their bills and so russia is building alternative pipelines to the north and another one is coming to the south and ukraine will eventually be bypassed but the whole political situation surrounding ukraine is russia's being blamed for an energy war where it's actually a simple market economics you know trying to get this bankrupt country to pay and it's on the table so it was just posing all the problems. the russian president sent a letter to european leaders this last week calling on them to help address the issue of natural gas supplies before it's too late that he was criticizing washington though which accused moscow of using energy as a political weapon but ima put in a to responded to america's allegations because it's not polite to read other

people's letter it wasn't addressed to them but to gas consumers in europe everyone's use to our american friends eavesdropping but peking as well isn't nice it's. also to merican officials of openly confessed they don't double check the alleged facts they hear from the self-proclaimed government in kiev. so you are relying on the korean government in terms of what is going on oh do you have any independent sources well of course we remain very closely in touch with the ukrainian government and that too we work closely with enough course they are on the ground so their information is are often very relevant to the current market so we need the secretary talked to mr love wrong did he tell them one two three four or that it's lived in victory and said look the situation was more like this this is what we have this is the truth these are russian sit between instead of the insane say he told him exactly what i what i just conveyed to all of you and you

can certainly reach out to the russians for any readout from their aunt margaret. question answered or was it all comes of course as part of extremely intense battle on the media from news outlets are pushing their version of events sometimes with little basis in reality as you can offer explain to our teams rory sushi. found some interesting stuff since ukrainian media is just flooded with all sorts of controversial reports related to russia and information is often being shared and reported even though some of it is either complete or hoax all together some of this is fake and the echo instance this picture was published by several media outlets shows alleged empty shelves in a grocery store in crimea but the price tag is in u.s. dollars in dollars turns out that this picture was taken over in a grocery store but in new york as it was getting rid of expired products now a list picture of a ledge to crimean refugees looks very familiar i mean well this is the do seem

like refugees but the same picture was used by another ukrainian media outlet earlier doing a report on syria refugees seven hundred thousand but my personal favorite is this one this is a story about identification alleged russian spy caught red handed in ukraine and this idea is sort of like the main proof presented by the media it has lots of grammar mistakes it's in russian but the best thing is that here there's occupation and just as they say in russian what i said as it is spies so that's not very discreet and i would have real i have an idea that's. not a very good if it's pathetic but also i found an interesting video of a ukrainian t.v. station preparing to do a live report from an alleged bromide done for a western rally in crimea and here's the reporter and it seems from in their frame there's a lot of people around the journalist but then the camera pans to the right there

and you can see there's only like ten fifteen people or bustle later this is. also is in a vision and he appears to be directing the crowd either to make some noise or to keep quiet so this again raises questions about how correct this information is so there's tons of it out there but surely facts have to be checked. well russia's described the latest vote on ukraine at the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe as a triumph of double standards the organization suspended russia's voting rights now until the end of this year plus moscow will now be admitted from various leadership positions as well within the body the country's observer missions to pace will be stripped as well but what's even more of an eye opener is the apocryphally of those who voted for the sanctions as the head of the russian delegation noted. those states that have been breaking international law on a regular basis during the past fifteen years by bombing belgrade by bombing libya by occupying iraq have no moral right to take any decisions concerning the russian

delegation. a quick look at what pace is all about who's running it's got forty seven national european parliament's as members plus also turkey plus russia and others it carries some weight on the international arena because only investigate and give recommendations of its resolutions end of the day binding places main focus has been human rights and protection of minority groups and one of its latest resolutions the organization said the u.s. state of texas for instance should abolish the death penalty it also release guidelines on respecting online privacy and launched a new platform to for debating anti corruption measures. around the clock care of r t would every best to bring the clearest pictures of the stories affecting your world starting this week thanks to brand new series we get we get you to learn how we do our job. not really about news it's about characters we want to keep. was absolutely insane it was a big breaking story not only for the world but for us as we followed around the

news correspondents as they were in harm's way constantly it was an extremely stressful situation and you're going to see here for one of our characters alexei when he won through where he walks in to do a live report and we're following him as we follow all of our correspondents and then. i think i have a life right. he was shot at what was that this window. that's been. going to stand there. and we put the camera here. alexa has a live here that's starting in minutes and just before us live he was shot at and that's something now that he's to deal with the emotional stress behind that and our producers there shooting all of it and just to see and gather his thoughts and go on air knowing that

a bullet was within meters of him is just insane to me i couldn't imagine it. the kibosh excuse following the top mall in kiev now joining us live good to get back on the line here taking cover apparently inside a nearby building alexi the truce that was agreed upon in the overnight apparently in a state of tatas there's no choice at all or you know it's a moment just to give you an idea of what's happening right now i would probably love to give you a better view of the independence square which is just over here but we were just short we just saw. another one of our characters is marshal for notion who is a war correspondent and she is relentless she was in syria where she snuck in and did the story and they try to make her stop shooting and she just wouldn't quit or she's really impressive and something else you would never have seen. but i didn't finish it i didn't finish it no i didn't finish so i just want to.

when i just i mean just one thing i just want to. know can i ask just a little can do so. we didn't know that we don't. actually really love this moment because for twenty minutes he's been fighting with this guy that she just wants to get her stand out he goes ok just gives up this is listed in here in damascus that has been held by the militants for more than a year now here just tuned in to r.t. to see her broadcast you would never have known that she spent twenty minutes fighting with this dude just to get the stand up and finish all that's great news to him is you get the insider's look at your massacres and teeth into stories like a terror there's no letting go more of that than over the coming days now probably view for a minute of our developing story from eastern ukraine three people have reportedly been killed as security forces clamp down on anti-government protesters in the city of slavyansk the extremist right sector groups reportedly joined in on the

offensive these are the latest pictures we're getting from the area where a self-defense shoot it was reportedly fired out with machine guns by the radical fighters protests is a directed barricades on the bridge one of the entrances to slovyansk now and there are also clashes reported between pro and anti federalization activists in holocaust of the progeny meanwhile moscow has demanded that stops waging war against its own people and an emergency session of the u.n. security council has been called stay with us for the latest on this. was mention i'll be back in about fifteen minutes again with more the week's top stories here in r.t. international but next after the break it's venture capital. a

little while back a monument at a michigan university that resembles a wrecking ball was removed due to waves of students trying to imitate the sexy miley cyrus music video where she swings around naked on a wrecking ball what do you think on monuments that are magnets for acts of public stupidity is not important what is important is that this illustrates just how much the media affects us all monkey see monkey do is a reality after avatar came out every person hollowing paid themselves bright blue and when i was a kid literally every child want to jump off their bed and be a pro wrestler like hulk hogan heck every little opiate maybury now wants to become a rap star people say that religions traditions and government propaganda indoctrinate us but they forget to mention that corporate imagery does exactly the same thing as honestly much better at it maybe people don't want to accept the fact that thousands of marketing campaigns that they're bombarded with every day affect them on some deep level but they do the reality is the problem is that nowadays these images that bombard us are all stupid what do we expect people to be like when the only images that they see to imitate are full of idiots like some naked

girl on a stupid metal ball but that's just my opinion. very serious. now right. dramas that can't be ignored. stories others of the few states in the. phyllis's changing the world lights now. old pictures of today's events. on to and from around the globe.

luck to. you. welcome to venture capital so ukraine has to pay its russian gas bill president vladimir putin sent a written warning to european buyers of russian gas this week that ukraine's debt crisis has reached a critical stage he's restoring to potential soldiers for europe is it in ukraine is still the main transit bridge so as it stands ukraine is getting russian gas for free putin made it clear this week that this situation cannot go on indefinitely but the country's balance sheet is in a desperate state and it needs thirty five bridge dollars by the end of twenty fifty we've got foreign debt right here reaching one hundred forty billion dollars

and kiev two point two billion dollars to russia's gas problem for its gas and now the country is in danger of getting its gas taps off the situation is not totally new kiev has missed payments before back in two thousand and six and two thousand and nine and this resulted in a cold winter for europe because the e.u. receives almost hoff of its russian gas imports via ukrainian pipelines and beth will be vulnerable to any disruption now to counteract this threat the north stream was built transport gas directly into europe just here as you can see it goes into germany now prior to this being built eighty percent of germany's russian gas imports came via ukraine just here's you can see now they're off is that the plans to build the south which is this one here which would again by policy and

transport gas right to through to southern europe that will be stored now because. of the ten cents so i'm now joined by the editor of international gas report from past william powell to discuss potential gas shortages for europe. if ukraine continues to not pay its gas bills and is cut off as a result of that how will that impact europe that. it could have. almost immediately the russian and ukrainian gas pipeline system is one single entity because of course it was built in the days of the soviet union so there's no separate trance of system so there's no metering enabling you to tell how much gas has come in and out. of the country. between the gas has been used within ukraine and how much has been allowed to pass through into europe so in theory could take the gas which is destined for europe and use it for its own purposes or

put it into storage for the winter so the facts could be immediate or ukraine could decide to buy all the gas to pass through into europe which one is more likely that in your your view your opinion what do you think ukraine will do in this situation . i think it's. likely personally to flow into europe because it's more important for the current government in kiev to have good relations with europe so i think common sense would dictate that to close the gas on into europe particularly as we're now facing the start of spring in ukraine and temperatures are warmer there's less immediate need for the gas within ukraine itself yet others also been taught from year out i don't know how feasible this is of reversing gas back to you crane it's been delivered to your up is that phase of all in your professional opinion i don't know here some gas has been flowing back into europe

into ukraine from europe there's a german company arguably we. bought more gas ignore to do with some gas prom and it is allowing this gas to flow back into ukraine through the polish system there's a much bigger system of course going through slovakia which could carry a lot more gas back into ukraine the fundamental problem though is well the gas come from russia already supplies about half a third of europe's gas so if the gas didn't flow through crane then had to come through north stream so that divert gas through other pipeline systems to label the gas to flow back into ukraine. yes it is doable it has happened in the past there are very good reasons for this the price new crane has often been higher than in germany so that our degree has been able to sell the gas back at a higher price than in much of god for it if it had to sell it at the european market. now we got plenty of opinions on the situation in ukraine at the moment and

all the gas conflicts and tensions and we start to rain a hotman and he told us that russia has always been a reliable source of deliver is as well as he said the country is not using this as a weapon first of all we definitely not diversifying away from russia we very very aware of the city that we are in a very comfortable position to be close to the russian gas fields and during the past forty years not one cubic metre of gas was not delivered according to contracts and during the last four years also russian was never using gas. as a weapon we need to get issues each other and we believe that this will not be the case in the future and additionally trying to corey doing is always become those investors who may be in right to invest they should do invest. now while the

relationship with the west is at risk of still winning russia's relationship with china has never been so important president putin is expected to travel to beijing next month to complete a thirty year deal to supply pipeline gas the twenty two billion dollar powell of siberia pipeline project would travel across eastern russia into china now the spy in the works has always been an agreement on price but now china is also keen to press on with the deal because its dependence on coal so deputy prime minister. is confident a deal is sealed. russia is close to signing a deal with china to supply natural gas gas burma's negotiating the final cost and we hope to have the final contract signed in may. so if a corporate news now then we're going to start with gas news why not. so gas from

house for one hundred percent existence gas company get it down to just one dollar of russia's gas major would take on the company's fourteen billion dollar debt take it gas will be renamed from here just. from a loan from elsewhere mcdonald's shut down in crimea us food chain burger king is now planning to replace its rivals but total types to reopen is the restaurant so soon there are more than two hundred other things in russia. coming up. now russian raw is has posted coursing losses for the first time in its history. top will not be enough for my staff a billion dollars due to the freeze on tyra's for transporting oil and its derivatives the company said it would also have to cut investment programs and stock more than sixty thousand people. a move in from russian railways traffic

between ukraine and crimea might be suspended according to the c. major kiran and this is due to disagreements by the shadows the traffic between the two neighboring countries and travel by train quote stalled altogether. moscow is getting set to host the twenty eight senior football world will spend more than two billion dollars on the city itself the money will be spent on stadium reconstruction and transport reconstruction as well by the old hosting the global sporting event will cost of call eighteen billion dollars across eleven and russian it is a private investors are expected to put up. of the amounts. reading on bank of america has agreed to pay seven hundred eighty three million dollars in fines and refunds to charges of allegations that the u.s.

a pool is gold and they went up five percent we got seven hundred more dollars and we're up to fifteen thousand dollars can you believe that this proves the old adage that if you put ten thousand monkeys a ten thousand typewriters for ten thousand days you'll get a couple pages of brilliance because i don't know what i'm doing and yet we've made a bunch of money but like with gambling eventually you always hit rock bottom and we'll see this week if our investment continues the trend or if will go back to square one or lose everything. so this week we have spirited bark the largest bank in russia and like mcdonald's across america there's one in every street corner there is a spare bike everywhere will the hugest pay off i don't know we'll see. good luck if i lucky about my boat while thought i hope it can take her no you can now. ok thank you mr tame have a good luck for next week but you know what i don't even think he's going to need

finding an affordable home is a massive challenge in london these days one of the world's most expensive cities as it is but the rising number of squatters is actually created new opportunities for the young who approach the housing issue creatively as artist polly boyd that. boodles of space in the center of the capital for a fraction of the average london rent. i. so this is our kitchen area property guardians are taking up residence in commercial buildings to keep them supported free to get private school costs. in head sometimes if we're in our pajamas they get a bit of a shock because they're expecting it to be an office or first studio and they see us cooking eggs and bacon in the morning edward says in his line of what paying

four hundred and fifty pounds a month is a godsend the main reason for me is is the price of the rent. free launched director so work is irregular and not always incredibly well paid. so it's very difficult for me to afford rent property guardianship started mushrooming after a change in the law the government decided to criminalize squatting in residential property but they left out squatting in commercial property so commercial property owners are not surprisingly very concerned that this will effectively deflect squatters into their buildings they want to find ways of protecting against that you know hence this this idea read off a business based around commercial property gold fields and we've no shortage of london is willing to live in warehouses offices and disused church as the applications are streaming in we have trainee doctors we have trainee lawyers

accountants nurses people who work for the b.b.c. . they're all young professionals in good jobs who are just climbing the ladder who don't want to spend eighty percent of the month you salary on road living in london is very very expensive the only snag tenants have to be ready to move with just two weeks notice and there's no pets no children no see. smoking and crucially you know a lot of hotties. which is a shame when you live in such an amazing building your job is to look after the building and make sure it stays safe and make sure that you don't get complaints from the neighbors well this was once a dance studio you can see it's got mare is going right across the river but it's now used as a lounge area by the guardians and through this purple let corrido you have what used to be the gyms changing rooms say with one two three four five shower cubicles for the guardians to choose from and three toilets is that it doesn't feel like

a residential property yeah i have to go up and down four flights of stairs to get to the showers but you know it gets my heart beating in the morning and a bit of exercise so that's fine for now i see myself living as a guardian for a long time i'm very happy i'm living with a large group of ten of my best friends and. i've got a full rent and i'm living in the center of london so for me it's the dream at the moment. and despite the quarks it's a dream that many more london is eager to tap into. r.t.e. london. all of the week's big stories plus the very latest coming out of eastern ukraine tonight here at international in just a few minutes. these people don't belong to a charity fund
